A security apparatus (20) for attachment to at least a portion of a portable article (10) includes a base member (30) and a cap member (60). The cap member (60) is pivotable from a substantially open position to a substantially closed position relative to the base member (30). At least a portion of the article (10) is securely clamped between the base member (30) and the cap member (60) when the cap member (60) is in its substantially closed position. A rack (61) and pawl (81), associated with the base (30) and cap (60) members, releasably and adjustably lock the cap member (60) in its substantially closed position. The placement of an appropriate magnetic field proximate the apparatus (20) unlocks the cap member (60) from the base member (30), by disengaging the pawl (81) and rack (61). A spring member (82), spring-biased against the cap member (60) prompts movement of the cap member (60) from its substantially closed position towards its substantially open position following disengagement of the rack (61) and pawl (81). |
